Warhammer Fantasy Battle Reporter Forum

I'll be kicking off a new forum game soon.

To start with we'll keep it really simple.

Here are the basics:-

1) You earn gold crowns for posts, new threads, new polls and voting on them.

2) You also win gold crowns for posting high scores in the arcade games but it will cost you 1 gold crown to play the game (the high score "jackpot" is the total gold crowns which have been spent on the game since the last high score)

3) You can use your cash in the forum shop to buy a character which will represent the Race you support (eg. an Orc to show you support the Orcs and Goblins army most). Each race will belong to a good, evil (and maybe neutral alliance)

4) This character (once you have purchased it) will appear as an avatar under your signature on your "shelf" when you enable it in your user control panel.

I'll get the character avatars into the shop over the next 2 days. They are going to be quite expensive though (in gold crowns) so you'll need to contribute lots of posts and new threads to be able to afford them (no making up nonsense posts / threads, I will be keeping an eye out and am happy for other people to "report" you !)

At a later date there will also be weapons, armour and magic items that can be purchased and maybe mounts.

I'm still thinking about how we will run this game and I have a few ideas which I'll share with you later. The first step will be getting everyone aligned with a race. Note that there will be limited numbers of each race to keep things balanced so you'll need to get posting and earn your gold crowns to get the race of your choice.

I'll add a new coloured link called "FORUM GAME" (or maybe) "FORUM WARFARE" at the top of the page. Which will have all the rules.

Thanks for reading guys,
Sigmar

Are we supposed to post are race choice in here? If so, I choose Dwarves.

Sounds sweet to me

I have added a link at the top of the page "FORUM WARFARE" which gives an introduction to the new forum game ( http://battlereporter.freeforums.org/site/forum-warfare )

All of the avatars are now available in the shop for 200 gold crowns each (ouch !)

When selecting a race to ally with you should choose your favourite army or the army forum you enjoy visiting most. There are only 3 of each army avatar (to keep things balanced) so it's "first come, first served" so to speak. You might want to race to 200 crowns as fast as you can to make sure you get your first choice !

Once you have purchased an allegiance you will need to go to your "user control panel" top right of forum and select the "shop" and then select "show on shelf"

Note that, you can sell items back to the shop for 75% of what you paid. More items (armour, weapons, mounts and magic) will be coming once people have begun picking up their avatars.

Also, I'll get back to you with the rules for the first Forum War.

Can we get a better avatar for the Dwarfs mate that one looks a bit comical

Ah, I thought there might be some trouble with the Avatars, I did the best I could although I couldn't find anythign at all for Lizardmen so had to make do

If you can find one you prefer here, let me know. I found the avatars I used here:-

Here you go mate http://www.mrpetersononline.com/down...AR-Avatars.zip

File gives you over 500 Warhammer Fantasy avatars all top notch

Thanks Kiwi,

Can you post in the full url please ? It appears to have been truncated by the forum

mrpetersononline.com/downloads/WAR-Avatars.zip

There you go mate, happy to help out

Thanks very much Kiwi - they are indeed super cool avatars.

It should be easy to select some more appropriate ones than the warcraft avatars. I think I'll need to reduce their sizes a little bit. I think they need to be a bit smaller than a member avatar, ie. the member's avatar should stand out more than the avatars on his "shelf" under his signature.

Thanks again for the file.

I've got a couple of quick questions about the game.

1. Can a person purchase more than one army?

2. Can you change that army once have bought it?

3. Are upgrades going to be as expencive as buying into the game?

I have a lot of other questions (Mostly about how the game is going to be played and what influence upgrades will have), but I'll wait to ask them. I'm sure I'll find out at the same time as everyone else!

Have you thought about doing a small article for this forum game and putting it in the forum ezine? It might be an interesting way to promote both this forum and the Forum Warfare game.

Why would you want more than one army, surely Dwarfs is enough for anyone

Seems to me that they come up a little short at times, . . . . .

Seriously though. I collect several armies for a couple of reasons. 1. I get bored easily, so by having several armies, I can split my attention between them when painting. 2. There are so many interesting armies that it would be a shame not to invest a little something into several of them. and 3. (And probably most importantly) I live in the middle of nowhere, as a result, I end up providing the army for my opponents so I can play.

I might be missing some things, but where are we with this avatar buying stuff?

I agree with guard. And I think that these armies are too expensive. Some members want to play this game too but they aren’t so active to earn 200 gold. So I think that 1 army should cost 100-150 gold
